This and all of Dave's books are absolutely heart-breaking! These are true confessions from Dave, that describe his personal experience with child abuse, which almost lead to death. I have never been so touched by reading a book. To tell you the truth, "a child called it was one of the first books that I read from beginning to end, and wasn't forced to. I couldn't put the book down, read it every time I had a chance. Thats how I feel about all of his books. He truely is a walking angel, and I owe a lot to him as I believe that from reading his books he has changed my life forever! I will continue to recemmend these books to all caring people!Text
